Cheery swag indeed! I was thinking and thinking about what my favorite holiday decoration was... I love garlands, wrapped presents, snow... but then it hit me, my absolute favorite is white Christmas lights! I think you could lots of other decorations but without lights (or glowing candles!) it still wouldn't have that magical holiday feeling.

I LOVE this!! I'd put it up in my office. It's adorable!! Makes me smile to look at :)

My favorite holiday decorations have always been our Nutcracker collection. When I was little, we'd pick one out each year. Now that I'm married and have my own little girl, she gets to pick the nutcracker :) Love passing on traditions!

Such a lovely giveaway, not too late at all. I love the little white mini lights, and the old glass ornaments from my parents that went on the tree when we were kids, and wreaths, and flowers, and I guess I love most of the christmas decorations.

Oh! Fashionably late to the party, I see! LOL! As I sit gazing at my half decorated tree I'm torn between my cross stitch boot (made many years ago in ugly country colours!) or my mother's delicate fragile glass(?) Santa! This JOY decoration with a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower would take pride of place in my little home! Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite Christmas decorations are the stocking I made for my children when they were babies. They still hang on our fireplace and my daughter has made similar one for each person as the family grows.

Mary, I believe I am fated to win this because my middle name is Joy! My favorite holiday decor is probably lights, because I like shiny, colorful things! haha. I also love decorated trees, themed trees, mishmash trees, carefully decorated or crazily thrown together, they're all good. Can't have the holidays without a tree!

oh...it's so pretty!! My favorite decorations besides the tree filled with lights and ornaments would have to be the stockings that I FINALLY made for my family a few years ago...and maybe the advent calendar I am still currently working on :) Thanks for the chance! Have fun with your giveaway!

This is so cute!! Hmmm favourite decoration I think it's my big peacock, which goes on top of the tree. It is my partridge in a pear tree. I figured since it isn't an actual pear tree it does not matter much that it isn't an actual partridge either ;-)

I guess I would have to say my favorite Christmas decorations are the various ornaments I made for my kids over the years. The first ones were done in counted cross stitch. Lately, I have been doing a lot of wool applique. This is the first year I am quilting them, and I'm using paper piecing. I think they will be really cute.

I love all the santa's that end up scattered around the house. There's a tubby one that lives in the kitchen on the windowsill and his friend is a super tall skinny wood one. Odd best santa friends. They make me happy.

i just made a pledge to myself to be more joyous today, so your offering speaks pretty loud to me. My favourite decorations are the fabric holly and berries i made this year...its all on my blog. happy holidays and may joy find you too. x

If I win these, they will become my favorite holiday decoration... :) However, my current favorite is my Christmas tree. It is decorated in purple, lime green, and silver with some personal ornaments thrown in. It makes me smile everytime I see it!

oh LOve this Joy has always been a special word to meMy favorite Christmas decoration is an old Santa that is holding a child in his arms and another one standing right next to him It looks like it was carved from wood and so aged. I just love this and it sits on a bookshelf all year round for me to enjoy in our living roomthanks for a wonderful giveawayHappy Holidays!kathie

Your joy is so joyous!! When I was growing up we had Indian fabric Christmas decorations, peacocks and fishes and bells. Hmm I wonder what happened to them. I just asked Gbf which is his favourite, he said he likes shiny red baubles because he likes to make faces and see his distorted reflection, weird! Thank you for such a joyful giveaway!!

What a fabulous giveaway, I could use some joy for the whole of next year actually. My absolute all time favourite decoration is the nativity scene made for me by my grandchildren a few years ago.It was a family effort and there were fights over the sheep that look like white blobs, lol. They are made of clay and hand painted.

That is so colorful! I love it.My favorite decoration? It's hard to narrow down to only one, but I love seeing the lights on all the trees and bushes and trimming peoples' homes! That definitely makes me feel JOY! Have a lovely day! :)

just darling Mary...but it has great weight too with those fabrics...i love our Jim Shore nativity scene...the pieces are just kid size and sturdy enough that they *might* not break when dropped...and...they are chunky enough to be glued together when they do! Merry Christmas!!

mary this is just so lovely you've outdone your sweet self! if i win i'll cherish it each year for ever. ok so my favorite dec was a childhood santa claus that had a spring and hook and hung from our tall ceilings. we used to get a running start when youngsters and grab his boot and he'd spring and go crazy on his little perch swing. so my mother gave this cherished santa to me in college and my ((bloody)) dogs chewed him one day to bits. as i walked them and saw bits of santa come out (yuk) i shed some tears ! oh santa!xxx

I'm feeling more joyful just looking at your site! My favorite holiday decoration is simply cranberries strung as garland throughout the house and on the tree! Have a beautiful and magical season! Fingers crossed. CenteringCoach{at}gmail{dot}com

What a great giveaway!!! My favorite holiday decorations are the ones the kids made at school as the were growing up. We all decorate the tree together and the always talk about the memories those decorations bring back!!!

Oh this would be so fun to win- a special ornament for my Christmas tree from my sweet friend Mary. :) Fingers crossed!

OK, my favorite ornament is tie- a glass ball- very large, very fragile, that is hand painted with a nativity scene and when it is lit from Christmas lights, it seems to glow. It is beautiful and not on my tree this year because of the little guy. I do not want it to fall off and break if he pulls on the tree. The other one I love is an old glass partridge in a pear tree that was on my grandmother's tree. It is not expensive but it is very sentimental to me.

I love this!! And I would love to hang it in my sewing area all year long. Thanks for this giveaway opportunity. We are Jewish, so we don't have a tree to decorate, but I do love all the pictures and crafty items that my kids make at school and I display my faves.

I'm with others, I would probably keep this up all year long! My favorite holiday decoration is a little mexican nativity set my husband and I got the first year we were married. It's terracotta & painted with bright colors. I absolutely love it!

My favorite holiday decoration is anything made by my kids when they were small or by my grandchildren. And I love Santas but they don't count because I leave them out all year. That makes them not holiday, I think. I love your JOY banner.

Sweet JOY! Well, my new fave ornament is one my (Coast Guard) son and DIL gave us while recently visiting. It is a hand-painted ceramic Christmas tree with little brown bears peeking around the edges. each bear has a Santa hat on and all of our names are hand printed on the white part of the Santa hat. The star on top of the tree has the year 2011.

My favorite Christmas decoration is a musical ceramic Christmas mouse. It was always on my mom's coffee table as I was growing up and now it sits high in a protected place, waiting for my own kids to be old enough to play with it.

favorite decoration would be the needlepoint stockings i made for my family, as it expanded, one for the new husband then each new son.Then me of course.Love your letters and all of you work.Keep Calm and Merry On!

Your decoration is adorable and I really like your header! Right now my favorite decorations are my little collection of trees and deer that I've put together in a turquoise, silver, white, and dark blue theme. They're pretty together!scarletteandcinnamon(at)gmail(dot)com

How cute! Now I'm going to checkout more of your blog. I'm sure whoever wins your giveaway won't mind the late post. My favorite Christmas decorations are the felt ornaments I made for my husband and I's first Christmas to cover our naked tree.
